fork a ironman

[Tryvenyal]

Hi!

I have a tribal ironman which I would like to continue both the MR and the feudal paths. Is this at all possible, maintaining achievements for both paths?

It has probably been asked before. Sorry if so!

Doesn't that mean that you have to switch from either MR to feudal or the reverse?

You could make a copy of the save, then continue playing down one path, only to start playing the other save down the other path later on, no?

Not if it's ironman

Hum... Land your heir as tribal in a province that is not developped enough to take the decision, feudalize, inherit, merchandize maybe?

That's incorrect, the method Snow Crystal described works easily. You can (if so inclined) even use it to savescum iron man (achievement enabled) games, so I can't think why you wouldn't be able to use it to first play one fork of a game and then later put back the old save and play another fork. The only thing that might be impossible - though not sure - is to rename one of the saves, meaning you would first have to finish one fork before replacing it with the other.

I think if you play as an MR and are a normal patrician I think you can inherit tribal and feudal holdings and if it is of an higher tier it should become your primary title and since you can't become higher tier than your patrician title within the republic (as it would turn you into a new MR) it should change the government type.

Or maybe I'm just stupid and patricians can't actually inherit.

Patricians succession is more complex than that of feudal, that's why I suggested to feudalize first.

Yea your probably right. I never play as them but you can propably go from feudal to tribal, although I never tried.

guys guys, you can copy the ironman save file, put it in a diferent folder, continue playing with the original and save the game with a different name, now you put the copy in the saves folder and continue with the second game EASY IRONMAN COMPATIBLE

Yes just make 2 folders, the only thing which paradox decided should break ironman saves is renaming them for some reason. You can move and copy them just fine
